Artist, American, born 1937

The image shows a high vantage point looking out over a vast expanse of water. The horizon line is positioned near the bottom third of the image, blending the sky with the sea due to a hazy atmosphere. The calm waters stretch into the distance, meeting a fog-shrouded skyline. The style suggests a photographic technique capturing the play of light on the water's surface. The color palette is monochromatic with various shades of gray, creating a serene and misty scene.
